Harvard House.

"Built in 1596 by the grandparents of John Harvard, who founded Harvard University. Harvard House is said to have been built in 1596 by Thomas Rogers, and has on one of its beams the initials T.R. 1596 A.R. It is at the present time the best example of many fine specimens of Elizabethan timber-frame domestic architecture in the place."
